Sometimes our reactions to life are designed to protect us from being taken advantage of or rescue us from imminent danger. Our responses are often based on misinterpretations. These missteps then beget reactions from others that create the very problems we mistakenly believed existed in the first place. More important than the actual circumstances we experience is the way in which we choose to respond. We are so powerful that we have the capacity to create tense situations out of peaceful ones or transform stressful ones…

Into peace.
